US$5000 and it's using the F80?!?!?

 

[tomshen]

This is really confusing, 14MP high-end DSLR is based on F80?...

 

[YSLee]

Maybe the rumours are wrong.

 

[maddog]

Maybe they started development with F80 long back then the 14MP chip came later and they jacked up the price.

 

[denizenx]

they lost the license for pro bodies from nikon and canon right?

 

[kingpin]

Also read that Canon has a 11.1 megapixel camera out too at Photokina? Anyone can translate.

 

[djork]

i'd rather pay that kind of money for a 'pro-er' body, like canon's or nikon's. 5000 for a F80-like body is simply a waste of money. but it's light though.

Looks like an S2 Pro with vert. grip. Its listed as $4000, not $5000.

Hmm.... the vert grip looks funny, how come the release button is wrongly placed? Shouldn't it be near the grip side of the camera?

Eh? I don't think that's the release button lah. If i remembered correctly, the DCS 760 also has that thing on that corner.

Left hand shutter release?

The whole thing looks weird in this angle, like wide angle distortion. ;p

is it that they use the new sensor as a replacement for the film? and they have the separate battery pack for the "digital film" . That is why it is based on the F80. Therefore, we can use it in a more "tradisional" way. If it is like that, the current DCs in the market will be eliminated soon

Oei CK, that "release button" is actually a 10 pin connector lah.

It sure looks sexy. The press release is out on dpreview.
Pity it's a Nikon mount.
